    This is a good Gospel. I have to remind my wife and myself of it often. We have to ask ourselves, "what is important in life?" I look at men around me who make more money than I have, better cars, etc. But when I go to my kids' ball games and concerts often these other men (whose kids are in the same activities) are not there. It is okay to leave some money on the table. We don't have to play the "whoever dies with the most money wins" game. I've known a lot of good men thru the years who give money to charity. But I believe that often times it is more important to give of your time. Spend time with your children and even other people's children (as a coach or mentor). One of the things that Hillary Clinton got grief for years ago was her statement (and book) that it takes a village to raise a child. This world would be a better place if children knew that others cared for them and watched out for them.
